He recorded one of the finest sets of the Beethoven Piano Concertos with Stephen Kovacevich and the BBC SO.
The two Beethoven masses are also very fine.
Very interesting documentary program and interview with Sir Colin last night on BBC4 - amazing to hear about the animosity he encountered in his early days as a conductor. There were also wonderful excerpts such as the Gloria from the Missa Solemnis and his Berlioz requiem performance in St.Paul's Cathedral London - superb. Other insights were Benjamin Britten's unfavourable reaction to Davis's Peter Grimes.
